Who Buries the Dead by C.S. Harris
5.0
When you are reading a long-running historical mystery series it's hard to review them without revealing too much of the mystery plot, but this was one of my favorites in the series for a few reasons that might be a bit spoilery:
* Jane Austen is in the book! And it's so cleverly woven in too. There are references to all of her novels including Sanditon which was the novel left incomplete at her death. References to my favorite author and her family are always welcome, but when she herself is part of the plot even more so.
*Devlin's family mysteries continue to intrigue. I wanted to know more about Jamie Knox and was sorry about this resolution.
*Hero remains a fascinating character and I'm waiting for the tension between her father and Devlin to come to a head. Poor lady though-colicky baby, nursing, and still going out and doing research. RESPECT.
*I expected the villain of the book to continue for a few more episodes but perhaps there is more to this story? I think I have 4 books left and then I will be caught up!
